Utagawa Kunisada

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image depicts a woman wearing a black kimono with red and blue accents, holding a large white folding fan in her right hand and a circular object in her left. She wears a brown patterned shawl over her left shoulder and white socks with brown sandals. The woman's kimono has a blue and white floral pattern on the bottom and a red and black design on the top. She stands on a beige background surrounded by scattered maple leaves in shades of orange, red, and green. Above her, an open book displays Japanese text and a picture of a man. A long, narrow piece of paper with Japanese writing lies to the left of the book. Several lines of Japanese characters are written vertically on the left and right sides of the image. The artwork is titled "Woman Bucking Autumn Wind" by Utagawa Kunisada.
